Homegrown |
He was seventeen when he crossed state lines |
Not enough to drink, barely old enough to drive |
A youth self-deputized, he took the lives of two |
But he won’t be remembered for domesticated terror |
It don’t fit the agenda if your skin can get no fairer, blue |
The colour of his eyes and the lives he’s sworn onto |
You were once a child too |
Make no mistake, make no excuse |
From the highest branch down to the roots |
Dig up the seeds we’ve sown |
Hatred has always been homegrown |
We publicize the names of the slayer not the slain |
And illuminate the way for more from where he came |
False gods on a network wage that are never gonna pay the cost |
Who were once just children too |
Make no mistake, make no excuse |
From the highest branch down to the roots |
Dig up the seeds we’ve sown |
Hatred has always been homegrown |
We view an execution from the comfort of our homes |
Due process rendered useless on the curbside of a road |
Hear pleas for humanity to a brute with an iron knee |
But he was once a child too |
Make no mistake, make no excuse |
From the highest branch down to the roots |
Dig up the seeds we’ve sown |
Hatred has always been homegrown |
